Abstract

A computer system consists of several resources for which users' programs are competing: CPU time, primary and secondary storage and Input-Output devices. More and more computer systems, which are being marketed currently, allow for resource sharing among several jobs, in order to obtain a better utilization of all available equipment, or to provide better service to the users by reducing their job "turnaround" time, or both.
